Hope this Q3 home loss doesn’t hurt on selection Sunday

@Vassar69 come back. I have a nice steaming pile of crow for you to eat. Let me know how it tastes.

Some IU fans are giving Vassar a run for his money as the Visiting Village Idiot on these boards.

Oof.

Best conference road record in the B1G. Selection committee likes teams that travel well.

Oof.

He’s probably out picking up aluminum cans on the frontage road

Don’t forget the discarded Jewel shopping carts.

I guess Illinois needed more help from the officials today.

Oof.

Life on the road in the big ten. It happens, even at a soft road environment like Evanston. Honestly, I should send you a gift basket. That seemed to be the kick in the ass the team needed. The Illini have won 7 of 8 since then. Meanwhile the Kitties are 4-4 since then, so maybe you celebrated a little too early

This may be the best post of the thread. Vassar posted this on Feb. 3. Since then, the Illini are 1-3, including a loss to PSU. The Cats are 4-0, and the “soft road environment” of Evanston has left fans all over Indiana crying about the home court bias the refs gave the Cats.

Northwestern is going to miss the tourney again

Dewey defeats Truman

Oof

So come back in like two weeks?

Some things just don't grow old.

Thank you Vassar, wherever you are (mom’s basement? Ramada Inn lounge? Whack-a-mole tournament?), for this gift that keeps on giving.

You know that he will be right back in here within 15 minutes if we end up losing to the Illini on Friday.

Back in my ice hockey days, these were the guys who hung out at the blue line waiting for an outlet pass while everyone else back checked: cherry pickers.

Illinois: oof
Cats: proof

This is the epicaricacy thread.

This is the epicaricacy thread.

Long may it live

This thread is pretty much the ultimate teachable moment for why you don't go taunting other fanbases.

Pretty much just continuously boomerang-ed back into the OP's face over the past 6 weeks with one final thud today.

I almost feel bad for the guy, I'm not sure it could have gone any worse

He’s lucky Cappy banned him. It gives him an excuse for not coming here to own it like a REAL MAN would.

Oh he's not banned, he can come eat his crow whenever he'd like.
